it go? I get a lot of busy signals, "leave a message", mailbox full and sometimes an actual person. This is a good sign for us. Keep doing the good work...karma will come around.
Here is a list of who to call, how to get addresses, phone numbers, a nd a link about the Tax Scam. There are scripts to read when you call as well as a list of protest events in your home zip code, and a lot of of other useful info. THANKS! Resist!
Here is my list to call and share with others as well as
A great link...RESIST! Peace.

Corker (TN) 3344
McCain (AZ) 2235
Flake (AZ) 4535
Collins ( ME)2523
Heller (NV)6244
Murkowski (AK)6665
Moran (KS)6521
Johnson(WI)5323
Young (IN)5623
Call them all. If you go to Zillow for the individual STATE you can get a local address and zip to use in case the senator's phone staffer needs validation that you are a voting constituent. It works and they NEVER check. I have done it with over 400 calls in the past year. It literally takes two minutes to Google Zillow. Your phone area code doesn't matter due to cell phones. Tell them a personal story. Also, here is a useful link to share...

(13,769 posts)In this day of computerization? They do ask for identifying info.
Oh. Now I understand the Zillow thing.... Now I think we shouldn't get involved in this sort of fraud.

(3,608 posts)so to get around that do you have relatives or friends in other states? Have you visited other areas and know these areas a little or a lot...if yes to any of these questions then feel free to use that geographic location. I view that as not technically lying.

(51,565 posts)Zillow works best since it is an empty house, etc and they do not have the time to check when sales are finalized and who has bought what, when and the residences for a place that is on the market one day and off the next. They can't be bothered tracking all that info down to see if you actually live there the very minute that you are calling them. People have done this for years and it works.
Give them your name and cell phone number and email address...all is valid/legit in case they ask.
We have to play hard ball and play to win! I am sick of their gerrymandering as well as not following procedures in the senate or what the majority of Americans actually want. They represent their rich donors, not you and me. They lie, cheat and steal as well as sell our country to foreign enemies. I think it is past time to take our government back. Keep up the good work!

(25,117 posts)One thing they do is check to see if you actually vote. If you vote, then they take you more seriously. It is super easy to do with a name and address. Staffers have access to voter rolls.
Ted Cruz's office told someone that they don't check and don't want addresses. Basically Cruz is saying that if you disagree with him, he will not listen to you.
I don't know if they check for every caller and/or for every issue. If they don't say anything when you call, it doesn't mean they don't check later. I assume it would depend on how busy they are and on the issue.
John Cornyn accused out of state callers of flooding his office over the Betsy DeVos nomination.
